Mr.. Blaine.

Any person who has the advantage Of
Elancing through large exchange list can.
not fail to discover one fact from the Dem.
ocratic and semi-Democratlc papers, and
that is that the Democrats are mortally
afraid that the Republicans will next year
Nominate Mr.. Blaine as their candidate for
President.
The average Democratic paper north,
south, east, and west has but one way of
expressing fear and hate Of any Republi-
can, and that is by abuse; the more in
tense the hate and the more abject the fear,
the more virulent, cowardly, and disgrace
full the abuse.
Judging by this rule, and 1t is the only
correct method by which to Judge Deme-
cratic and semi. Democratic papers, Mr..
Blaine is the most feared and the worst
hated Republican In the country.

CLOSING THE MONUMENT

To Prevent yandals Defacing- the Fine
stone Interior.
The Washington monument commission
held meeting on Saturday, at Q p. m, at
the white house. Those present were Pres
ident Cleveland, w. w. Corcoran, chair
man; Architect Clark, Of the capitol; Super
visiDg"Architect Bell, Brig. Gen. Duane,
chief Of engineers, and f. L. Harvey,
secretary. The defacing OF the fine pre-
sentation stones In the interior was men
toned and means of prevention discussed.
The present force Of watchmen is made
quate and as no greater force can at present
be employed, and it would be question of
but little while when all the tablets would
be ruined, the following order was passed
Ordered, That the engineer in charge close
the monument to all visitors without distinc-
tion ON and after Monday, May the 9th instant,
and until the further action of this commits
sion, save that during the National Drill in
this city, between the 2Sd and 3lst of the
present msnth inclusive, the engineer in
charge may, II he deem II practicable, and the
management of the said drill will provide the
police or guard necessary for the adequate
protection of the interior OF the monument
(subject to the control of the engineer In
charge), open the same TO the inspection of
visitors.
Suitable Offices for the management OF the
monumental for the comfort Of the public
will be erected near the base.

Those who live in the country--far
removed from tho weather Bureau
have their own means of Judging of the
coming weather. For instance, the
"BIaclberry Rains" are always looked
upon ms the last cold rains of Spring,
and are followed by very warm weather.
They occur between the list and 10th of
May, when the blackberry blossoms
are blooming on the bushes. We've
been having our "Blackberry Rains"
during the past few days, and now we
are fairly in for tho warm weather. 1t
is perfectly safe now to change heavy
for light underwear. Heavy suits may
now be laid away for future use with
entire safety; benceforth the greatest
comfort can be attained by the Iightcst
covering.

We would like TO have your judg-
ment on the magnificent stock of Light

Right here 1t may not be out of place
to apologize in advance for any possi-
BILE disappointments that may have oc-
CURED in the delivery OF packages on
last Saturday. In addition to our four
delivery wagons we had to employ two
cabs to send goods home. In the press
of business it is possible some were
disappointed. If such was the case
we can only throw ourselves on the
kind indulgence of those who were so
disappointed.

A Graduated Interest Plan TO Pay the
Virginia Debt.


EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: The
best advices attanable as to the pro-
posed settlement of the Virginia state debt
between the committees now considering 1t
are that the creditors want settlement on
the basis OF $9O,0O0,0OO, with 100000 as
annual interest, while the state offers to
settle on the basis Of $22,0O0,000, with
$750,000 as annual interest.
Any one looking at the financial condi-
tion and resources, present and prospective,
of Virginia, can see that a much better
plan of settlement for both parties could be
arranged. The first point in this settle
ment would be an agreement as to the
amount OF the debt, including in this any
unpaid interest. Then @rregistered
bond (no coupons), running for thirty
years, the interest for the first five years
being one per cent, for the second five
years tpO per cent, for the third five
years three per cent, and for the remaining
fifteen years fOlW per cent. This would be
an average rate Of three per cent, on the
bonds.
Such an arrangement ought TO satisfy the
creditors, II Virginia would pledge a por-
ton OF its income TO the payment and re-
tirement Of the bonds, and beyond doubt
Virginia can easily pay the interest and pro-
vide for the principal OF these bonds with.
out any material or burdensome increase In
its taxation.
The present rato Of taxation, four mills on
National Republican., 1887-05-09

The report Of the bureau of statistics just
received shows that the imports for the
month Of March amount TO $62, ,929 2i2, be-
ing an increase over the same month of last
year Of S2,S0O,OOO. The largest increase in
articles was in coffee and tin plate.
Dutiabe goods only increased but little
over $1,00O,0OO. The imports for the nine
months ending March 81 amounted to $685.
S75,3s7, an increase of $3S, 100000 over the
same period of last year. OF this increase
nearly s2T,0OO,00O was in dutlable, and the
remainder in free goods. At the average
rate Of duty this shows an increase in GUS
toms over last year OF about $l2,000,00O.
The import of sugar fell of about $3,0OO,-
000, which indicates, either that more was
produced or that less is being used. Prob
ably the latter.

Hot and Warm Spring Valley Railway.


The great direct double track railway
from the east to the west and northwest,
conceived and proposed by Gen. l.. Blng-
ham, passing through the richest mineral
regions Of Virginia, has attracted much at
tention.
Gen. Bingham, who is a practical engi-
neer of experience and ability, has received
numerous letters, not only from the peo-
pie on the proposed line, but from proni-
nent railway men, indorsing his proposition
as not only feasible but great public
necessity.
Railway men everywhere see that such O
route would possess vast advantages over
any now existing In the transportation OF
through business, and would besides have
an immense local traffic, because OF the
mineral aud timber regions 1t would open
to the markets OF the world.
Gen. Bingham Is constantly In receipt OF
letters from all points on the proposed
route urging him to press the building of
this road, and Offering all the aid In the
power Of the country through which it
passes, and at the same time from investors
in railways who urge the same course.
The people on the line express great
qualification at the enterprise shown by
Gen. Bingham in bringing this subject
before the public, and numbers of them are
now urging on the legislature the necessity
OF general incorporation law, that there
may be no unnecessary delay In securing
the right 10 build the entire line, as only
portion Of it is now under charter.
1t is hardly necessary to point out the
advantage this road would be to the sec.
tions OF country through which 1t passes.
1t would give them direct, through, short
line to the seaboard and the west for all
the vast wealth OF coal and iron now locked
within the mountains and OF timber grow
ing on them.
The state of Virginia, from the ocean to
the mountains, Is interested in this project,
because 1t would add so per cent. to the
taxable wealth Of the state, and the com
mercial cities Of the coast and interior are
equally interested in securing direct COM
munication with each other.
There should be no unnecessary delay In
building this route Gen. Bingham has
opened the fight, and he should be sustained
in pushing it.
